Why dive casa cenote?
Casa Cenote offers a truly unique scuba experience in the Riviera Maya. Surrounded by mangroves and connected to the sea through a hidden tunnel system, this open cenote combines freshwater and saltwater in a shallow, peaceful setting.
You’ll drift through clear waters under the tangled roots of the jungle, spotting tarpons, eels, blue crabs, and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of “Panchito”, the local crocodile. He’s small, calm, and has peacefully shared this cenote with divers for years, always keeping to his own area.
If you’re looking for a safe, slow-paced, and beautiful introduction to cenote diving, this is it.
